Nymphing Rigs, Directional Control, and the Eagle River with Duane Redford (Ep. 209)

“What I believe in are lively bugs in a dead drift.”

Duane Redford

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Duane Redford.  Duane began his love of fly fishing and tying as a youth in the mountain lakes of Arizona.  He moved to Colorado in 1982, where he became a teacher and a coach, as well as an avid angler. 

When his coaching days were over, Duane became a full time guide for Minturn Anglers, in the Vail Valley, and immersed himself in his passion for the water.  Today, Duane continues to teach through fly fishing.  He has written several books and creates content for his YouTube channel. 

We discuss approaching a new river, interpreting and obs erving water, directional control throughout the drift, and the Eagle River.

You can listen to the show on the podcast player below or anywhere that you enjoy podcasts. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I enjoyed talking with Duane.

VR,
Jason
